machinectl read-only does not work

[test case]

On a system where the systemd machines dir is *not* on a btrfs volume
(e.g. it's on a normal ext4 fs), create an image 'test' and then:

$ sudo machinectl image-status test
test
            Type: directory
            Path: /var/lib/machines/test
        Hostname: ubuntu
              OS: Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS
              RO: writable
         Created: Wed 2022-10-05 13:41:15 EDT; 34s ago

$ sudo machinectl read-only test
Could not mark image read-only: Access denied

[regression potential]

failure marking images ro or rw

[scope]

this is needed in all releases that include machinectl

this is fixed upstream by 137d162c42ed858613afc3d7493d08d4ae6d5c1b
